Dustin, you should watch "Best Worst Movie." It's a documentary made by the cast of the "Troll 2" movie about the cult following that developed for that film. They go to "Troll 2" screenings and talk to people who can quote the movie verbatim. I'm not that fanatical, but I love a good B-movie, and "Troll 2" is one of the best/worst.

Some consider "The Silence of the Lambs" to be a sequel, because it's the second film to feature Hannibal Lector. (The other is "Manhunter," a 1986 film by Michael Mann.) But since "Silence" was directed and written by different people, and has a completely different cast, it's debatable whether they are REALLY sequels or not...

Just wanted to make sure it was clear, $17,000 is what Northampton County Council's system cost, not what Williams Township is looking to pay. The Williams Township system is expected to cost $450 in one-time service costs and a recurring $150 monthly maintenance fee. So if you do the math, the cost comes out to about $2,250 in one year for Williams Township. Thanks!

RNForks: The agreement reads: "The following per pay (26) employee contribution rate will be observed throughout the duration of the agreement for medical premium shares. SINGLE: $30 (2011-12), $40 (2012-13), $45 (2013-14), $50 (2014-15); TWO PARTY: $40 (2011-12), $45 (2012-13), $50 (2013-14), $55 (2014-15); FAMILY: $45 (2011-12), $50 (2012-13), $55 (2013-14), $60 (2014-15). Sorry I didn't have room for this information in the story itself; as you can imagine, there was a lot of info to include in limited space.

Just wanted to throw in my two cents that this game is a lot of fun and well worth the four joystick rating, even if the writer of this particular review constantly beats me in fights. I'll get you one day, Carpenter!!!

The exact cost savings of this proposal remains a bit unclear, but the tax increase is likely not going to change. The school board previously approved a 1.7 percent tax increase for its Northampton County taxpayers. That's the highest the board can raise taxes without going to referendum, and regardless of what happens with this agreement, the increase will likely stay at 1.7 percent. (Taxes would go down 0.73 percent for its Bucks County taxpayers.)

I always thought "Headline News" was pretty funny. The one making fun of the Crash Test Dummies song "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm", where Weird Al works the Singapore caning, the Nancy Kerrigan attack and the Lorena Bobbitt case into the lyrics. He later did special verses about Britney Spears and Paris Hilton which were also pretty funny.

We've previously reported that LaToya Monroe claimed she resisted giving Michele Vulcano the job and claims it was a factor in her dismissal. This is one of the stories we wrote about this from back in 2008:

For anyone interested, the PSEA has a pretty helpful page with information specifying exactly how much each district lost in state funding this year, which can be viewed by county and then by district:

I'm grateful to the lehighvalleylive staff for not making a "I Won't Be Back" or some other stupid pun/joke about the Arnold/Maria joke, unlike every single radio show I've heard today that discussed this news...
